Hummingbird and Butterfly Gardening: Should I operate on Monarch wing?, 0 by TexasPuddyPrint

I'd say leave it alone. Sometimes the wing veins get damaged during eclosion. It should dry off or drop off. Looks like the wing may also be a bit deformed. That shouldn't stop it from getting around. However, if you notice it has trouble flying you might trim the wing to remove the curled up/wrinkled end - since that will hinder the smooth movement of air when it's flying.

I had a GST with a small bubble of liquid on it's wing. It dried out and the butterfly flew off without any problems.
